Planning Applications, Checklists, and Handouts

PERMITTING SOFTWARE UPDATES: Planning permitting will transition to the Clariti permitting system starting mid-October 2024. Active planning applications will be migrated to Clariti at that time, and new permit applications will no longer be processed via the City's webform. More details on how to access your planning permit account in Clariti will be provided in the coming weeks on this webpage.
 

NEW PLANNING APPLICATIONS:

  1. Find your applicable planning application from the top of the left-hand column in the table below.
  2. Next find the corresponding application checklist from the table below.
  3. Refer to the Plan Preparation Guidelines to prepare the plan documents required by the applicable permit application checklist.

The Plan Preparation Guidelines and corresponding supplemental checklists outline the basic requirements for submitting a planning application. Note that a completed application form must be submitted along with the required application fee(s) and supplemental materials as indicated either on the form or in the application checklist. Applications that do not include these materials will not be deemed complete. Contact the Planning Department if you have questions about application requirements.
